Before I hired Desiree, I was overwhelmed with the thought of coordination on the day of my wedding and the weeks leading up to it. I could not imagine how I would do it all, but also had no one to pass it off to. I chose Desiree because I knew right off the bat we were on the same page. She was prompt when getting back to me, extremely professional, and it was clear she set up great processes to be efficient and helpful for her clients. I reached out to her in the first place because her reviews were amazing on The Knot. My favorite part about working with Desiree is that she allowed me to have the time of my life at my wedding. I mean that in the least cliche way possible. I never have and will probably never feel as stress-free and joyful as I did on my wedding day. My husband noticed and was so grateful she was there to make that possible. I almost want to cry thinking about it because I will never be able to thank her enough for giving that to my husband and me. Also, nothing went wrong, and I have no idea how that is possible. Everyone told me I should expect something to go wrong, and if I did, I had no idea! Desiree ran a tight ship and was worth literally every single penny. I have been singing her praises to all of my friends getting married. She had done a fantastic job positioning herself as not just an amazing wedding coordinator, but an experienced and knowledgeable resource for the entire wedding industry and brides.

For a couple who had minimal vision and must-haves for our wedding day, working with Desiree was a dream. We would have been lost without a wedding planner and Desiree's expertise is invaluable. Desiree curated a beautiful vision board for us and worked with us to make sure it was absolutely a reflection of who we are. She has amazing relationships with vendors across Rochester and makes sure that every vendor understands your vision for your wedding day. On the day of our wedding, we had zero stress and full faith in Desiree and her team to pull together a beautiful ceremony and reception and they exceeded our expectations big time! We would highly recommend working with Verve Event Co. and can't say enough great things about Desiree!

I would highly recommend working with Verve Event Co.! Desiree is a true professional who is highly organized and will make the planning much less stressful for you! She cares very much about her clients and will always do her best to make sure your day is perfect! She travelled to Chicago for my wedding and we are so glad we hired her to make sure our weekend was perfect!

Our team at BreakThrough Entertainment has had the pleasure of working with Desirée and her team at Verve Event Co. many times over the past few years! She is always fun & positive, has fresh ideas & thinks outside the box, and is incredibly organized when it come to the details! As the dj, it’s important for us to work side by side with a planner who shares the same level of integrity & professionalism when it comes to our clients. We’re so grateful to work with Verve Event Co. and highly recommend them to everyone. We look forward to working with them at many more events & weddings!

I am a professional makeup artist based out of Rochester, NY and in my 16 years of working in this industry, I have worked with many different vendors and Desiree is by far one of the most people to cross my path. She and I worked together for a wedding several years ago and it was the best experience. Her attention to detail was unparalleled, her communication was so clear and friendly and you can absoltely tell that her heart is poured into everything that she does.

I wish I had known Desiree when I got married (many, many moons ago) because she is certainly a treasure!!!

Verve Event Co. is absolutely amazing! Desirée is very professional, attentive to her clients, and easy to work with. As a wedding vendor, I can definitely tell the difference when working a wedding with Desirée vs. a wedding without her. She coordinates and communicates with all of the vendors early on which I found very helpful, and her organizational skills in preparing for the day really helped the vendors. I was able to tend to the clients knowing Desirée took care of organizing the important details that I would normally have to worry about. I have also worked with Desirée on a styled shoot. Her meticulous attention to the details and effort put into preparing everyone for the event made the day so much smoother. I highly recommend couples consider Verve Event Co. for their upcoming nuptials!

As wedding photographers, we've been involved in more than 100 weddings and can confidently say that Desiree is the best of the best. From our very first conversation, we knew that the experience of working with her would be like no other! She is extremely professional, detail-oriented, creative, and energetic. Desiree's organizational skills deserve a separate shout out - we have never arrived at a wedding with more information about the plan for the day. The smooth flow that she created, plus the work of her dedicated team on the day-of, allowed us to do our best work, knowing that every detail was taken care of and there was nothing for us to worry about.

Over the years, we've worked with many teams of vendors, but with Desiree leading the way, there was a noticeable difference in cohesiveness. Everyone's styles and personalities complemented each other perfectly, allowing us to all focus on making an amazing day for our couple! We all know that wedding days can be stressful and overwhelming, but the best thing about working with Desiree is that it was truly fun. From the meetings she facilitated with our couple early on, to the final delivery of their gallery, it was an amazing experience and we are SO thankful for her expertise.

We cannot say enough great things about Desiree and recommend her to anyone seeking the best in the business!!

We absolutely loved working with Desiree!!!!
We always recommend to our couples to hire a wedding planner/day of coordinator because it will truly help you enjoy your wedding day and that’s exactly what they did. Couple was relaxed and present through out their day.
As a vendor, communication is key, Desiree was super on top of emails and communicating any changes and full schedule. She made it super easy and enjoyable.
We would love to work with her and her team again!

As a wedding and private events DJ, I’m a firm believer that having a wedding/event planner can be a huge asset not only for the people who hire them but also to the other professionals involved… from the DJ to the venue, to photographers and catering staff… having a great quarterback is essential.

That said, Desiree and Verve Event Co bring that sentiment to an entirely new level! It’s rare to find someone, that isn’t just organized… but someone who cares about your wedding as if it were her own, or cares about your event as if she were the host. Desiree and her team have taken every event we’ve worked together as serious and as important as anyone should.

That kind of extra effort and attention is exactly what’s required to make sure clients and guests alike are able to completely maximize their evening and the tremendous depth in which it should be enjoyed.

Desiree is an incredible planner and coordinator and without question at the top of her game… her execution and work ethic makes me want to marry my wife again!

Thanks Verve for all you do!

This review is long overdue. Other than choosing my husband, choosing to work with Desiree was the best decision that we made for our wedding. Desiree is the most organized, put together, knowledgeable, helpful wedding planner/ person I have ever met. We knew an overall vision of what we wanted for our day but I had no idea how to actually make it a reality. Desiree made our vision come to life and even added special details to make our day uniquely ours. Even elements that I couldn't really put into words or have a picture to show her she was able to make happen! It honestly was like she could read my mind! My mom actually said during the planning process "when I count my blessings I count Desiree twice" and it is so true. Even my husband, who was very skeptical about hiring a wedding planner to begin with could not stop talking about how amazing Desiree and her team were, and how worth it it was the morning after our wedding. The actual day went on without a single blip. Everything was on time, smooth and perfect! We still have guests that comment about how amazing our day was and specifically point out how smooth it went. That was all thanks to Desiree and her team. Thank you so much for making our day the best day ever!
